But if everyone gets $1,000 doesn't that mean that nobody has actually become any richer or poorer than anyone else? Like if you put everyone on a pedestal, they would all still be the same height

Lmao ancient obsolete boomer cuckservative arguments.

The government has been printing money in insane amounts for the last 12 years and giving it to banks and industries. It wont change anything if they give some to the people.
Hyperinflation is already certain to happen at some point.

not quite, it's more so a redistribution thing.
Think about it this way, if the total inventory of currency n=100, and you own 70 of that 100 and I own 30 of that 100, we could state my networth as 30/100 (0.3) and your's as 70/100 (0.7)
Now, if the printer goes BRRRRRR, makes 100 more notes, you 50 and I get 50, your networth changes to 120/200 (0.6) and my networth changes to 80/200 (0.4).

Do you know how a glut works? It's not an on/off switch. The oil is there and will be there for years to come. Now it's all been bought by speculators but they'll sell their bags slowly once prices raise back up a bit but it will be a looong time before that glut is used up. Plus there's really no end in sight on the oil pissing war yet.

Yep. They were heavily leveraged expecting $80/bbl and then it collapsed in december '14 leaving them holding huge debt with no way to pay off. Also shale requires huge CAPEX investment year after year to maintain production, let alone grow. They were already fucked, this latest drop completely killed them.

You're correct that, in the aggregate, the relative spending power of everyone will remain the same. That is, the basket of base good you could buy with it will remain the same.

What's happening WITHOUT a UBI is lack of demand information. In the face of normal systemic unemployment, the average American is fucked. However, the value that person brings to the table in terms of demand-information ('votes' from their dollars,) is great enough that there is a positive return on investment to make sure they're never fucked.

There are a ton of secondary things we could get into about the politics and/or budgetary effects that also happen to be crazy positive, but the demand-floor-as-global-insurance-policy is the fundamental reason we're all going to make it.

Haliburton is an oil services company. They make money facilitating the actual oil drilling and infrastructure.
Oil supply will be very tight on the other side of this glut because like i said, US shale will collapse. US shale was responsible for 90% of oil supply growth over the last decade. Without it, the world will go into en energy crisis.

>> No.17892130

Shale probably won't collapse though. Somebody somewhere will see the shortage you see and they'll get life support loans and tank their credit ratings and then someone will swoop in and buy all their stocks for pennies on the dollar.

>> No.17892273

No

Let's say there are two people. One person has $2 and one has $1. They're each given $1. Let's say the value of the dollar depreciateS by an amount equal to what was injected into society. Person A ends up with $3 and person B ends up with $2. After depreciation, the value of that $3 (which was $2) is now $1.8 and the value of the $2 (which was $1) is $1.2. Effectively person A ended up losing money while person B ended up gaining money.

>> No.17892288

>>17892130
They'll be consolidated under the supermajors like Exxon and Chevron, who will operate shale at a loss to keep the oil market stable. But it will still lead to a decrease in supply, and if the economy recovers and begins to grow we need something like 3-5% increase per year, while shale wells decrease at 30% per year. Its actually scary how fast an individual shale well declines, which is why shale needs massive CAPEX expendatures to continue growth or even maintain.

Interesting times, anon.

this. everyone thinks that giving poor people money for essentials will result in a proportional increase to the cost of living but that never pans out. Too many markets at play to risk overshooting a price increase.
